Cleansing the face in a rhythmical manner with a warm to hot, plant-infused face cloth can help to harmonise breathing and reconnect us to our Selves. It may alleviate mucus build up in the sinuses and eustachian tubes, especially during a cold, ear ache, or sinusitis. The lemon bath milk could be helpful to cool the face during hot weather. The touch, life, balance and smell senses are particularly engaged through receiving a warm face cloth.

Instructions

Fill the sink or medium sized bowl with hot water.

Add 2 capfuls of the rose nourishing bath milk or lemon bath milk, or use the warm herb tea. Fold and soak the washcloth in the bath milk. The cloth can be a face washer or muslin compressing cloth which is more absorbent and hydrating to the skin.
Squeeze the water from the cloth until it is nearly dry.

Open it out and cover your face, taking 3 deep breaths to inhale the smells. Place the cloth over the forehead and take 3 breaths, over the nose/cheek area and take 3 breaths and then over the mouth/neck area for another 3 breaths.
Refresh cloth in the bath milk and squeeze dry again.

Repeat this process starting at the forehead but this time with a rolling out, both hands together starting from the either side of the nose and rolling out toward the ears 3 times. Proceed down the face over the nose/ cheeks rolling out 3 times, then mouth areas rolling out 3 times towards the ears.
Repeat for 3 cycles.
Refresh the cloth in the bath milk and starting from the middle, hands touching, roll out over the neck towards the ears.
Refresh and squeeze out cloth again and fold into a small rectangle. Place this on the back of your neck. Take some deep breaths allowing relaxation of your body and a sense of uprightness. In hot weather, or if you are feeling overheated, placing a warm cloth on the back of the neck can also help to cool.
Apply over healthy skin. Cease use, if redness or agitation develops.
